Meeting an opponent in chess

That night, Jinbei's official army attacked at night, sweeping through Mahuangyan from all directions like wildfire. The commander-in-chief Luo Luo and his deputy Sheng Tulong were known for their unparalleled military exploits and their fierceness. They attacked fiercely at the beginning of their dispatch and killed the Longxi bandits. The soldiers were caught off guard. Luo Lu stormed into the village entrance in a blink of an eye, and Sheng Tulong also slashed and killed them along the way, each killing dozens of people.

"Bold Jin man, if you have the guts, I will fight your Grandpa Geng for three hundred swords!" Geng Yao was furious when he saw this. He fired a cannon and immediately mounted his horse with his sword in hand and galloped to the front of the formation to serve as the vanguard for Guo Zijian.

Sheng Tulong was young and energetic, and he raised his big sword to fight. Geng Yao was getting stronger, and he slashed his head and face with a bright sword. As soon as Sheng Tulong raised the block, his jaw went numb. He didn't dare to neglect, so he concentrated on fighting. However, compared to Geng Yao. He was still a newborn calf. After only thirteen rounds, he fell off his horse and was covered in blood. Geng Yao pursued him again with a knife, but saw that it had cut off his head. Luo Lu immediately rushed his horse to save him, and cut off the knife with a critical shot. The golden soldiers hurriedly swarmed up. Saved Sheng Tulong.

Although Luo Lao is not as tough as Sheng Tulong, he is worthy of being the highest in front of Chu Fengliu. It only took ten rounds to subdue General Geng with his sword skills. Rui Huoguang - I couldn't tell whether the person on the other side was two torches or a pair of swords. I could only see that the man was arrogantly intervening in the battle. The arrogance was unspeakable, and he rescued Geng Yao without any explanation. Luo Lu was sighing to himself, the other party He swung two more swords like fire. Luo Lu was shocked and immediately fought with him.

"I have admired 'Fire General' Guo Zijian for a long time, and his reputation is well-deserved." "I don't dare to take him seriously. I have already heard of 'Tianluo Diwang' General Luo!" It took several moves for Guo Zijian and Luo Lu to see each other's face clearly through the gaps between their swords. Like them. As masters and generals, the first thing a person comes into contact with is the opponent's reputation and skills. Often they have known each other for a long time and competed with each other for a long time, but they may not even have seen each other before the battle. Identifying one's identity depends only on strength.

The battle between Guo and Luo was really on par with each other. They fought for most of the night and did not stop. Three horses in a row became weak and his hands were sore before it came to an end.

The morale of the Ephedra bandit soldiers seemed to have been strengthened by the presence of Guo Zijian, and the situation was fleeting. Once they stabilized their position, they immediately gathered for a counterattack. After fighting until around the time, they died down. Guo Zijian withdrew his troops to reorganize the team, and Luo Lijie The battalion is waiting to fight again tomorrow.

It’s hard to stay quiet in the dead of night, and the beacon fire is shaking the world.

"Why are you still not sleeping?" Lin Qian looked back from far away and found that Yin'er had not left the camp with him, and stayed with him outside the tent after a long time. In this scene, although they were walking away together Look, but unlike when he was calculating the situation on the front line, she was just staring blankly while thinking about something else... So he felt happy when he looked at her, and caressed her hair.

"If you don't sleep, I won't sleep either." Yin'er smiled. A gust of wind passed by, and she seemed to dislike the strong wind, so she cuddled closer to him. The familiar temperature reminded him that the surroundings were no longer empty.

The happiness he felt now seemed to prove to him that the past year was real. It was real, but it was difficult to recall how he got through it.

"Go to bed." His expression changed, and his tone was not a question but an imperative, which made the words of concern more like a command.

Yin'er pouted and tried every means to argue. At this moment, a flying horse came to report that the fighting in Ephedra was suspended, and brought the specific battle situation of the night and the detailed defense deployment in the future to Lin Qian, "By the order of General Guo, please give instructions from my lord. "

When Yin'er heard this sentence, she understood what facts speak louder than words. When it comes to the garrison of Ephedra in recent days, and the strongholds in Longxi and Weiyuan County, Lin Qian doesn't know how long she will be busy. She can't help. If his eyelids were fighting, then he wouldn't cause any trouble, so he bowed his head obediently and went back to the camp to sleep.

I don't know how long it had passed after she fell asleep, but suddenly she felt someone pulling her hands and feet...

"Um...who is...annoying!" She was woken up and instinctively hit that person. She found out that it was Lin Qian who came back to her, so she swept away her sleepiness, climbed up and hugged his neck, smiling slyly. , "You can just go to sleep, why did you wake me up? To be honest, is there some intention?"

"Stop making jokes! Remember, you can't sleep like this." He told her seriously. At the same time, he found that she didn't want to leave him for even a moment. After only an hour, she felt as if she hadn't seen him for half her life.

"Have you given the instructions to General Guo?" She put her head in his chest with a smile. Looking up, there was a clear trace of worry between his brows, "Hey, what's wrong? People like General Guo, Will he also be defeated?!"

"Never defeated." Lin Qian shook his head, but with worry, "It's just that Luo Luo was much more powerful than I thought - our army had just entered Ephedra and before we had time to form an array, he quickly killed him with his troops. Fortunately, Senior Brother Guo was brave and was not scattered by his attack. If it were any other general, he would have been unable to withstand it." When Lin Qian said this, he looked down at her and sighed, "I heard that Luo Lu dared to go to battle, and I mistakenly thought that he He couldn't wait to see me leave, saying that he had underestimated Senior Brother Guo... Only now did he understand that I had underestimated him, and he had definitely seized the opportunity."

"In other words, General Luo Lu shocked you... So General Guo doesn't actually have the upper hand?" When Yin'er analyzed, there was a little curiosity in her eyes. She was used to seeing the ease of the Allies. , it was the first time I discovered that Guo Zijian met his opponent in chess.

"On par." Lin Qian nodded. In this way, Luo Yan might not be able to gain insight into Guo Zijian's tactics, but in this battle, Lin Qian gave Guo Zijian the same trust that Chu Fengliu gave to Luo Lie.

"General Guo has been working hard these days." Yin'er put himself in his shoes.

"Ephedra, no matter how many battles we have to fight or how many ways the enemy comes, Senior Brother Guo must hold it." He told Guo Zijian. The most important thing is these days. If the barrier of Ephedra is not maintained within these days, , Chu Fengliu can successfully sweep through Longxi if he breaks through there.

Therefore, while Guo Zijian is currently holding on to Ephedra, Lin Qian must not slack off for a moment to eliminate the impact of civil strife in Longxi and Weiyuan. In other words, when Longxi and Weiyuan are back on track, it will be useless for Chu Fengliu to break through Ephedra .

In the next few days, Guo Zijian and Luo Bin fought more than ten times, often from morning to afternoon, with smoke and dust billowing, making it impossible to fight. Because Guo Zijian took the opportunity to order the Longxi bandit soldiers to consolidate their defenses, Mahuang Huan was no longer as busy as the first battle. , the further this battle went on, the harder it became for the Jin army to win. Although Luo Lu could still maintain his strength, the soldiers began to feel tired.

If the stalemate continues, there is no way we can win this place.

"Luo Lu, I didn't expect that you would fight such a misguided battle." Ye Bumei arrived with his army and expanded Luo Lu's troops, but he was not optimistic about his assault that night. "Lin Qian arrived at Ephedra and left again.

That's good, but you can't attack when he's gone.

Now you have tasted the bitter fruit, Lin Qian has already ambushed Guo Zijian here waiting for you." While saying this, his ruffian smile was as rippling as before. Those who didn't know him thought he was gloating about his misfortune, but only those who knew him well heard this.

It can be concluded that he is even more sad for his misfortune...

"General Ye, Guo Zijian is not in ambush. I watched him garrison in Mahuangyuan and know the approximate strength of his troops. The reason why I attacked was because the princess told him before the battle that as long as Lin Qian was not around, we could take action immediately." Luo Lu shook his head.

Ye Bumei finally misunderstood Luo Lu like Lin Qian before, thinking that he was downplaying Guo Zijian's existence to paralyze and underestimate the enemy. In fact, it was Chu Fengliu who acquiesced to him.

In late May, Chu Fengliu also arrived at the battlefield of Ephedra. Luo Lu apologized to Chu Fengliu for being unable to attack for a long time. Ye Bumei also asked Chu Fengliu why Luo Lu could take action "as long as Lin Qian was not around."

"As long as Lin Qian leaves, we can take action - as long as Lin Qian leaves, no matter who is guarding Ephedra, they will definitely be defeated by Luo Lu." Chu Fengliu said with a smile, and Ye Bumei was startled: Such trust. Luo Lu was in his heart.

Warming up, his fighting spirit became even higher. Chu Fengliu said again: "As soon as I heard about the battle situation, I felt that Lin Qian's appearance was only to affect the morale of our army. There must be someone else guarding the pass."

Luo Lu suddenly felt a little ashamed: "Guo Zijian, who is guarding the pass, is really a unique and ferocious general. No one else could have reversed the victory when the formation was disrupted. This was probably because Lin Qian sent him

The reason..."

"Oh, I finally understand." Ye Bumei touched the back of his head and suddenly realized, "The princess and Lin Qian are playing a clear game this time. They are fully aware of the other party's attack and defense, but they give all the power to their trusted subordinates.

...However, if Lin Qian deliberately lures us to attack, wouldn't General Yeluo be in danger?"

"You are overthinking, General Ye. Showing weakness to lure the enemy is in line with Lin Qian's consistent use of troops, but it will not happen when his rear is uneasy." Chu Fengliu replied calmly, "I have to thank Cross Country and Su Muzi for this."

Ye Bumei's complexion gradually changed. It seemed that this battle was not only indifferent on the surface, but also Lin Qian and Chu Fengliu's plans were equally divided. No one took the lead.

Chu Fengling smiled: "Besides, what if you fall into the trap? Does General Ye still think that Luo Lu is still the same Luo Lu who easily underestimated the enemy a few years ago?"

Luo Ruo nodded solemnly: "The princess once told Luo Ru not to despise anyone who should not be despised. Fortunately, although I underestimated Guo Zijian, I never ignored him."

Ye Bumei was convinced. As long as he maintained a high degree of vigilance and tightened his nerves, Luo Lu, who attacked that night, would not be defeated even if he could not win.

"Not only did you underestimate it, but I also didn't expect that it would be difficult to pick someone more powerful than Guo Zijian in Lintao Prefecture today." Chu Fengliu sighed, "Otherwise, I would have deployed more troops here to wait for this.

People." There is no doubt that although she underestimated Guo Zijian, she had a clear understanding of the situation.

"In the past few years, when we fought against Lin Qian, we were always unable to discern his truth. I thought it would be the same this time. Unexpectedly, the princess knew everything." Ye Bumei couldn't help but praise.

"Virtual and real." Chu Fengliu chewed on these two words and smiled, "Longyou is not his territory after all."

This smile made both Ye Bumei and Luo Lu understand that Chu Fengliu was not affected by Chen Cang's river bridge battle. She still had the strength to rival Lin Qian and would do her part.
